Why Book Your Vacation with a Travel Advisor?

Did you know that when you book a vacation directly online or through a vendor, the cost already includes the services of a travel advisor—whether you use one or not? That’s right! The price you pay is the same, but by booking through a local travel advisor, you’re supporting a small business and gaining access to expert guidance at no additional cost to you.

Here’s how working with me can elevate your travel experience:

1. Expertise and Experience - With years of experience in the travel industry and a focus on destinations like theme parks, tropical escapes, cruises, and European adventures, I bring a depth of knowledge to every trip I plan. I’ve also earned certifications and continue to stay up-to-date on industry trends, new destinations, and insider tips to provide the best recommendations for your trip.

2. Your Advocate Before, During, and After Your Trip - Things don’t always go as planned, but when you book with me, you’re never alone. I’m here to handle any unexpected changes, delays, or issues that might arise. Need to modify a reservation, ask a last-minute question, or address a concern? I’m just a call or message away, ensuring you have support when you need it most.

3. A Personalized Approach - Every traveler is unique, and so are their vacation dreams. I take the time to get to know you, your preferences, and your goals for the trip to design a vacation tailored specifically to your needs. Whether it’s a family-friendly getaway, a romantic escape, or an adventurous journey, I can help craft an itinerary that’s just right for you.

4. Save Time and Reduce Stress - Researching and planning a trip can be overwhelming. I handle the details—big and small—so you don’t have to. From finding the best accommodations and activities to helping you understand the fine print, I make the process smooth and enjoyable, allowing you to focus on looking forward to your trip.

5. Value-Added Perks and Savings - Because of my industry connections, I often have access to special offers, upgrades, or added amenities that you might not find on your own. While my services don’t cost you extra, they could save you money or help you get more value from your vacation.

6. Ongoing Education and Research - Travel is constantly changing, from new destination offerings to updated policies. I dedicate time to learning and researching so I can provide you with the most accurate, up-to-date information and advice.

7. Collaboration with DIY Planners - If you love researching and planning your own vacations, I can still help! I’ll work with you to fill in any gaps, confirm the best options, and ensure your plans run smoothly. Think of me as your trusted travel partner—supporting and enhancing the work you’ve already done.

When you book with me, you’re not just getting someone to click “book” for you—you’re gaining a partner who’s invested in making your travel dreams come true. So, the next time you’re planning a trip, consider working with a local travel advisor (like me!). You’re already paying for the service—it only makes sense to take advantage of the benefits!

Let’s work together to make your next vacation extraordinary.

The most colorful festival of the year is here at Epcot’s International Festival of the Arts! 🎭 From stunning culinary masterpieces to vibrant entertainment and inspiring art, this festival is a feast for ALL your senses.

I love this particular festival, of course for the food. But have you been and seen the Chalk Art Galleries? This is some of the most impressive work I've seen!! I highly recommend taking time to check them all out! These are stunning works of art created by talented chalk artists along the walkways of Epcot. They often include 3D designs, making it look like you can step into the artwork for amazing photo opportunities.

✨ Snack Spotlight: The Deconstructed BLT ✨
Located at the Deconstructed Dish food studio, this artistic twist on a classic dish is a must-try! It features crispy pork belly, a soft-poached egg, brioche, and tomato jam, beautifully plated to look like a work of art. 😍

🍴 Pro Tip: Pair it with a refreshing Rainbow Cider Flight from Figment’s Inspiration Station for the perfect festival vibe!

🎨 Plan Your Visit:
Festival of the Arts runs from January 12 to February 19, 2025! Don’t forget to check out the Expression Section mural painting and Figment-inspired treats.

💌 Ready to experience the festival? Let’s make it happen! Contact me to plan your magical visit to Epcot. Message me here or e-mail me!

Who has the most unique Disney tip you love to tell people? We have heard and know most of the ones you see posted - so what's your most unique tip you learned or were told that you absolutely loved?

Here are just a few I can think of:

1. Use the Free Ice Water/bring your own water bottle
Any quick-service restaurant in Disney parks will give you free cups of ice water.
Stay hydrated without spending on bottled water!
2. Ride During Fireworks - lines are shorter
While everyone is watching the nighttime spectaculars, ride wait times for popular
attractions often drop dramatically. Perfect time for thrill-seekers!
3. Pin Trading with Cast Members but buy them in bulk on places like Ebay ahead of
time to save a LOT!
If you’re into Disney pins, bring a collection to trade with Cast Members. Some
resorts and attractions have special pin boards you can check out too!
4. Mobile Order Timing
Place your mobile food orders early in the day for peak times, like lunch and
dinner, to secure your preferred pick-up window.
5. Ask About “Cheat Meals”
Many quick-service restaurants have secret off-menu items or can modify meals to
your preference—just ask!
6. When the front gate at Animal Kingdom is backed up at the entrance, go to
Rainforest Cafe and go to the back through the gift shop, and there's an entrance
to the park that is rarely used
7. Free Postcards at Resort Lobbies
Some Disney Resorts offer complimentary themed postcards—great souvenirs or a
way to send a note home. Fill one out and mail it from Magic Kingdom
